'''PmWiki''' is a highly advanced and fully featured {{tag|wiki engine}}, written in {{tag|PHP}}. It was created by Dr Patrick R. Michaud ([[PmWiki:Profiles/Pm|Pm]]), and is released as {{tag|free software}} under version 2 of the {{tag|GNU General Public License}} (GPLv2). All [[wiki]] data is stored in [[PmWiki:PmWiki/FlatFileAdvantages|flat files]], and the core wiki engine can be customised by adding extensions, which PmWiki call 'recipes' that are available from their [[PmWiki:Cookbook/Cookbook|'Cookbook']]. PmWiki looks visually vaguely similar to [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]], having a [[sidebar]] for wiki navigation, and individual page commands (view, [[edit]], [[Edit history|history]], print) at the top right (but without 'tabs'). PmWiki supports most of the established [[:Category:Wiki syntax|wiki syntax]], including [[CamelCase]] (now disabled by default), [[free link]]s, [[backlink]]s, [[interwiki]], and [[sister wiki]]; and page rendering appears to be clean and fast, and is also mobile friendly. One {{tag|great feature}} of PmWiki is that no existing data is lost or corrupted during separate simultaneous attempts at editing the same page; PmWiki will automatically merge these attempted [[PmWiki:PmWiki/SimultaneousEdits|simultaneous edits]], thus preventing the dreaded '[[edit conflict]]' which occurs on more complex engines such as MediaWiki. | '''PmWiki''' is a highly advanced and fully featured {{tag|wiki engine}}, written in {{tag|PHP}}.
